Hieronymus of Colchis

Hieronymus of Colchis was the King of Colchis during the early 3rd century BC.

Biography
Hieronymus was born in Kotais, Colchis to a Greek noble family, and he rose to be King by the 270s BC. Hieronymus had a feud with King Hermocrates of Trapezus, and, in 272 BC, the two kings went to war. Hieronymus succeeded in building up large enough armies to scare off the Trapezuntine seaborne expeditions sent to threaten Kotais, and he also defended his kingdom from Armenia to the southeast.
